Just Me I don't know if anyone is even interested in what I write. Each time something a little different. But now I thought I'd tell you a little bit about me. I'm a wife, mother and nanna, and I love every part of it. I have a wonderful husband, he's also my best friend and I love him more and more as time goes on. My children are all amazing and really are the centre of my world. My grandson, well he's my little ray of sunshine even on a cloudy day. Then there's me.... I have progressive osteoarthritis that was only diagnosed 6 years ago. It started with intermittent joint pain and inflammation and has now moved on to where I need double knee replacements. It's very bad in my legs and also my arms and hands, it's all down my spine and in my hips aswell. Six years ago I enjoyed joining in with my children for football, rollerblading, cycling, walking and generally having fun together. Now I sit in a wheelchair and watch while they have fun with their dad. I use an electric scooter to get around outdoors but need to have someone with me because due to pain in my back and neck I'm unable to turn enough to check its safe to cross a road. At home I use either crutches or a walking frame to get to the bathroom. On a bad day the pain is so bad I'm unable to get out of bed. My children have become my carers while my husband works full time. Most of the time there's always someone here with me as even something as simple as making a cuppa is beyond my reach. I have to take so many tablets just to get me through the day. It's like being trapped in a body that can no longer do what I want. But please don't think that for one minute I look for sympathy, because that's not what I need. I'm gonna do whatever it takes to make my body stronger so that I can do the things I want. Me writing on here is a step forward, so I'm open to any comments and suggestions. I look forward to hearing from you, hopefully?
